Abstract
The present invention provides a method of inhibiting the formation of pseudorabies particles in a host cell. The method involves administering an effective amount of a poly-hydroxylated stilbene, particularly resveratrol, to a herpes virus infected host cell. The present invention also provides a method of reducing or inhibiting the growth of Neisseria gonorrhea and Neisseria meningiditis in vitro and in vivo. The method comprises administering a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a tri-hydroxylated stilbene to a growth surface which has come into contact or could come into contact with the bacterium.
